Red pony essay

If you've ever had a pet that you loved more than life itself, read this book. If you've ever known the glory of a dog's happy panting, marveled at a kitten's playful curiosity, respected a pony's tender goodness, basked in a bunny's fluffy warmth, giggled at a gerbil's eagerness to exercise, relaxed near a turtle's lazy nonchalance, or stared hypnotically at a beta fish as it swims endlessly and pointlessly around its bowl on your desk—if you've ever looked into an animal's eyes and wondered, "What are you thinking in there, old friend? What's it all mean?"—read this book.
